FAQs

Can I use instant coffee instead of espresso?

Yes, strong brewed instant coffee works well if espresso is not available, but be sure it has cooled before mixing with the mascarpone and cream.

Absolutely. The mousse can be made up to a day ahead and kept refrigerated. Just dust with cocoa powder right before serving for the best presentation.

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Tiramisu Mousse

• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup strong espresso, cooled
• Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

1. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the whipping cream using a mixer until it forms stiff peaks. This will create a light and airy base for the mousse.
2. Fold in Mascarpone, Sugar, and Espresso: Gently fold the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and cooled espresso into the whipped cream. Fold carefully to maintain the airy texture without deflating the mixture.
3. Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse to serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
4. Dust with Cocoa Powder: Just before serving, sift a generous layer of cocoa powder over the top to finish your tiramisu mousse with a classic touch.

Notes

• Ensure the espresso is cooled before folding into the mixture to prevent melting the whipped cream.
• Use chilled bowls and utensils to help the cream whip faster and achieve better volume.
• This mousse can be served as a light dessert or layered with ladyfingers for a classic tiramisu variation.
• For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the espresso amount slightly according to taste.
